The Faculty of Music is located in Karaj Campus of University of Art. Academic music education in Iran began with the establishment of the "Music Branch" of Dar al-Funun School in 1247 AH. In the process of development, that institution was renamed to "Music School" (1997), "Government Music School" (1998), "Musician School" (1999) and "Higher Music Academy" (1997). After the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the "High Music Academy" and the "National Music Academy" (founded in 1328) were merged and joined the Art Academic Complex.
The music group of the art university complex started its educational activities in the field of military music and Iranian music in 1368, and since 1373, by changing the title of " Expert in Iranian music" to "Iranian Music Performance" and with adding "Classical Music Performance", it became the "Faculty of Music". During the following years of training in the fields of Military Music, Iranian Music Performance, Classical Music Performance, Composition and Musicology (Ethnomusicology) at the Faculty of Music of the University of Art, it has continued under the leadership of Mr. Sharif Lotfi, Prof. Mohammad Reza Azadefar, Dr. Sayid Hossein Meysami, Hamid Reza Dibazar and Dr. Hamid Askari Rabori.
